/**
 * <p>
 * Thrown if an authentication request could not be processed due to a system problem that occurred internally. It
 * differs from {@link AuthenticationServiceException} in that it would not be thrown if an external system has an
 * internal error or failure. This ensures that we can handle errors that are within our control distinctly from errors
 * of other systems. The advantage to this distinction is that the untrusted external system should not be able to fill
 * up logs and cause excessive IO. However, an internal system should report errors.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This might be thrown if a backend authentication repository is unavailable, for example. However, it would not be
 * thrown in the event that an error occurred when validating an OpenID response with an OpenID Provider.
 * </p>
